Moldavite: description and virtues in lithotherapy

Moldavite, a natural type of glass, is a rare variety of Tectite, a term derived from Greek "tektos" meaning "fondu". In 1836 Franz Xavier Maximilian Zippe named this material Moldavite, with reference to "Moldau", the German name of the Vltava River in the Czech Republic, where the first samples were discovered. This unique stone is appreciated for its distinctive colour, ranging from olive green to forest green, its singular textures and attractive shapes.

Moldavites formed about 15 million years ago during the impact of a meteorite of about 1.5km in diameter in the Ries region of Germany, whose parent crater is 24km in diameter. A few fractions of a second after the collision, extreme heat liquefied the siliceous material of the ground (earth, sand, pebbles...) while the enormous amount of energy generated by the shock propelled it very high into the atmosphere. This material, then molten, cooled sharply during its journey and solidified, before falling back to earth as natural glass "drops". The Moldavites thus formed dispersed up to 450 km from the crater, mainly in the Czech Republic, in the Bohemian and Moravian regions. A few specimens are found in Germany and Austria. Moldavite has been known and used since the Paleolithic period, where it was used mainly for the manufacture of tools or talismans.

Witnessing an exceptional celestial phenomenon, Moldavite embodies the cosmic union between the Earth and the Universe. It is known to form a powerful shield of protection, capable of repelling negative waves. In its presence, chakras open and activate, harmonising energy flows and fostering a sense of inner well-being. Moldavite is seen as a real catalyst for mediumness, sharpening intuition, strengthening vision and encouraging telepathy. As a spiritual guide, it accompanies meditation sessions and opens doors to mystical experiences. This treasure of nature with deep green hues is directly connected to the Chakra of the Heart, itself connected to energies of love, compassion and emotional healing. Moldavite symbolizes consciousness and spiritual elevation.

Precautions and maintenance of Moldavite

We recommend that you handle Moldavite carefully to avoid scratches and shocks. Avoid contact with chemicals and prolonged exposure to the sun or extreme temperatures. To clean it, rinse it under a lukewarm water fillet before drying it thoroughly with a soft fabric.
